Trip results

Wow! We had the smoothest trip of all time. :) Flew into Denver from Memphis then from Denver to Spokane. We landed, got our car, and drove to Idaho. Absolutely beautiful area. Amazing, really. Drove through and past Coeur D'Alene, past Silverwood, and into Sandpoint. Visited the realty spots there a bit after checking into the lodge. Later that evening, we drove to Heron, which was a terrific/scenic drive filled with mountains on our left and gorgeous water (Lake Pend Oreille pronounced Ponderay) and Clark Fork River. We found the school without much difficulty.

As far as the interview, wow! I spent the day with some fantastic people; the children there were amazing, really. I was able to see a great portion of the campus and interact with these incredible kids. After lunch, we had an extensive group session. At times, it was very intense. Never once did I feel shaky or nervous during the time. I even spoke up and asked some questions during to the kids. At the end of the day, I felt good. I did the best I could and was completely myself. I had one kid tell me he hoped he saw me again. I felt good from the staff interactions. So, the waiting game is on.

All I can say about this experience was I'm so glad I got to be there with my wife during this whole event. We had a great time and got to see some impressive sites, indeed (good job, God! He knows what He is doing!). I am so grateful to God for this trip and this experience. If nothing comes from it, at least we got to see some beautiful country and experience some lovely weather.

By the way, my wife and I came up with a new game called "Subaru" in which one calls out a "Subaru" each and every time one sees a "Subaru." It's very much if not identical to the "Bug" game only with "Subaru" instead. We have decided when we move we will have to have an AWD car. I'm looking at giving up my beloved Civic hatchback. :(

Also, we're hoping to sell this place and its contents even if there is a delay in me finding a job.

That's all for now, guys. I'm so thankful.

Peace
